A Warren woman accused of offering her 4-year-old daughter for sexual contact and the man suspected of requesting a photo of the child nude waived their right Thursday to a preliminary court hearing and are headed for trial.

Sabaugh bound over Reardon and Brys to Macomb County Circuit Court. The co-defendants face charges of child sexually abusive activity and using a computer to commit a crime.

Warren police and the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office suspect Brys placed a prostitution advertisement on Backpage.com in September and was contacted by Reardon. In an exchange of text messages, Reardon offered to pay her $300 but eventually indicated he was interested in having inappropriate contact, including showering, with Brys’ daughter, police said. He was willing to pay between $300 and $500, officials said.

Warren Police Commissioner Jere Green, who recently described the text conversation as “disgusting and disturbing,” said Reardon asked Brys whether she knows any girls between ages 7 and 12. After Reardon asked Brys to send him a picture of her daughter nude, she responded with a photo of the girl clothed, police said.

Through their respective attorneys, Brys and Reardon requested Sabaugh reduce their bond, which was set at their arraignment last week by a visiting judge at $500,000.

Macomb Assistant Prosecutor William Harding argued against a reduction in bail for both suspects, claiming Brys would be homeless and might flee the area to avoid prosecution. He called Reardon a danger to the public.

Harding said at the time of text message exchanges, the FBI was investigating Reardon for similar circumstances. Harding said Reardon, a resident of Lincoln Park, was making arrangements to meet who he thought was a 14-year-old girl in Omaha, Neb. to engage in sexual activity. The teenager was actually an FBI agent, according to Harding.

Sabaugh rejected both defense requests for lower bail. Reardon and Brys remain held in the Macomb County Jail.

Brys’ lawyer, Christine Grand, said Brys is single, has no other children, is three credits short of a college degree, has no prior criminal record and was scheduled for a job interview. Outside the courtroom, Grand scoffed at the prosecution’s claim that Brys would have no place to reside if released on bond, telling reporters she has a friend who will let her stay with her while awaiting the next steps in the case.

The allegations came to light after the 4-year-old girl’s father, Aaron Perry, found text messages on Brys’ phone the day before a meeting between Brys and Reardon was to take place, police said. Perry immediately contacted police.

Brys is scheduled to be in circuit court in Mount Clemens for an arraignment and pre-trial conference on Nov. 25. Reardon is slated to make his first appearance in the case there Nov. 18.
